1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Hey, David, thanks for taking your time today. We appreciate it. Um.

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,239
Speaker 1: First off, obviously the big question to day is, uh,

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, your initial reaction to UM when he who

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: was released this morning was a shock to you guys

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: as much as it was everybody else. Yeah, you know,

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: this is just a tough day in this business. Um.

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of guys, UM, teammates that

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: you've been you know, familiar with and teammates for years

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: or you know, whatever it may be. So it's always

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: a tough day in this business, and unfortunately it's just

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: part of it. Next question, Ian Steel, followed by Alex

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: Park David, how are you good? How are you good? Good? UM,

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: just wondering what's impressed you about Mac Jones this camp.

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: It seems like he's going to be the guy that

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: you're riding with into the regular season. Yeah, you know,

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Max done a great job. He's come in and worked

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: really hard. Yeah, he's obviously done you know a lot

18
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: of really good things. Uh, you know, like a lot

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: of players this preseason. Um, you know, yeah, those aren't

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: my decisions, so um, you know, I don't know what

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: goes into those factors, but uh, yeah, obviously, you know,

22
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: he's done a great job, you know, which is expected

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: of everybody. And it looks like the last question there

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: will be Alex Parth, Sorry, two more questions, Alex Farth

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: con trig Hey, David, I'm just wondering, as a leader

26
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: on this team, what you tell rookies or younger guys

27
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: that they're looking for advice on how to navigate cutdown day.

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: And if there's anything you remember from your first cutdown day,

29
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: maybe a moment or something somebody said to you that

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: stands out. Yeah, you know, I mean there's nothing you

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: can you know, so to speak to Hayes in the

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: barn at this point, right, you know, Um, you know

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: those decisions you've you've done all you can. Um, you know,

34
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: so the only can control what you can control. M

35
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, I you know, my I think my cut

36
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: day my rookie year was, um was on an off

37
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: day actually, so um, you know, I was just trying

38
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: to now look at my phone and uh, you know,

39
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: anytime it rang or you know my girlfriend at the

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: time called me or my parents or whatever it may be.

41
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of you know, heart sinking to

42
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: see so um, you know, it's a tough day. Um,

43
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, you can only control what you can control,

44
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: and you know what the work you put in over

45
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: the last you know, call it month, and then uh,

46
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, now the real worst starts. But you know

47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: the thing the thing about it is is that you know,

48
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: I think having preseason games and stuff like that, this year,

49
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: you know, guys had a chance to really go out

50
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: there and put themselves out there. Um, you know, whereas

51
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: last year it was, you know, no joint practices, nothing,

52
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: everybody just no one had film or anything. So, uh,

53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, there's thirty one other teams out there watching

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: all these preseason games and you know, especially when you're

55
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: joint practicing and things like that. Thank you. Next question,

56
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: Trade Jar and then the last question of the mean

57
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: Steel and David. One of the build's favorite things to

58
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: say is we're gonna do what's in the best interest

59
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: of the football team. So having you know, said out

60
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: or referring to that, was there a moment or a

61
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: couple of moments where you know you really picked up

62
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: on Max Max you know, poise or intellect, like you know,

63
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: kind of an aha moment where you said, this kid

64
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: just isn't a regular rookie. Um No, I mean I

65
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: can't say it's just one moment, you know. I mean

66
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: I think that's something you know, I go back to,

67
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, someone like Big Mike last year as a rookie, right,

68
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: Like it's a consistency thing, doing it over and over. Um.

69
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: You know, you don't really just want to have one moment.

70
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, just consistency continuing to get better. Um.

71
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: You know, when I think about myself as a rookie, Um,

72
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: some of the guys that we've come had come through

73
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: here as younger players, you know, like the Joe Tunis, Um,

74
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: you know those type of guys. It's just you know,

75
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: the consistency, you know, not making the same mistakes, keep improving. Um.

76
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: You know, I think that's more of the tell tale

77
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: to me. I guess, but I'm no scouter coach, so

78
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: you know you could ask him what he really thought

79
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: if I could quickly follow up. Do you think that

80
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: puts a little bit more pressure on you to you know,

81
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: handle things having a rookie quarterback back there? I mean no,

82
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean I think we all work together, right, you know,

83
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: it's not just my job to get protections right. Uh,

84
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: you know, it's not just his job. It's not you know,

85
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. So you know, we all work together, uh,

86
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, especially me and the quarterbacks and then you know,

87
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: including the all five offensive linement. We all have to

88
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: be on the same page. So um, you know, I

89
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: don't think the responsibility falls on one person here or there. Um,

90
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: it's a team effort. Ask question means too. David um

91
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: as a captain on this team for a couple of

92
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: years now, you know what it takes to be a

93
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: leader in the NFL, and that inherently also comes with

94
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. They have to be a leader on

95
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: the team. What have you seen from Mac in terms

96
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: of the leadership that he's bringing to the team. Yeah,

97
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: you know, I mean I definitely think there's some positions

98
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: you know that just kind of inherently have leadership ties

99
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: to you know. And I think I think leadership is

100
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: such an interesting thing. People love talking about it and

101
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: love putting it in this Bahawks and what it is

102
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: and what it's not. At times, I think it's it

103
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: can be so many different things to so many different people,

104
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: and guys respond to different types of leadership, right. You know,

105
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: Guys might like someone you know, being a little bit

106
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: more vocal and that might get someone to respond or

107
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: you know, you might have a guy come in and

108
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: see somebody you know doing rehab at five thirty in

109
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: the morning and be like, Wow, maybe I need to

110
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: take better care of my body or whatever it may be.

111
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: So I think there's all different forms of leadership, uh,

112
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, And I think you know, we obviously have

113
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: these you know, captains and things like that, but I

114
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: think over my years here, I've noticed there's a lot

115
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: of guys, you know how that provide great leadership, you know,

116
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: and not necessarily are captain or whatever it may be. So, um,

117
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: I think leadership comes in all different shapes, sizes and forms.

118
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: What form does Max take so far? You know, I

119
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: think a little bit of everything, you know. I think

120
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: he's done a good job of you know, being vocal

121
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: at times and you know, making mistakes and keep moving forward.

122
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: You know, that's part of it, right, you know, you

123
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: gotta just we all make mistakes. And I think, you know,

124
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: as a guy who's done gone through that a little

125
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: bit and you know, not saying I'm perfect, but you

126
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: see that and he's keep moving forward and you know,

127
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: in a football game, you're gonna do something wrong, right,

128
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: but you know you give up a sack one play

129
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: and then next place, you know you gotta go run

130
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: block or I gotta go block them again, whatever it

131
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: may be. You know, if you shut them down or

132
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: shut it down, then you know, no good. There's seventy

133
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: five to ninety players in the game, so um, you

134
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: know thing, He's done a good job. You know, we

135
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: obviously all have a lot to do to hear I

136
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: prove um and get another chance today. Thank you David. Hey,

137
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: we really appreciate you doing this on short notice. Thank

138
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: you very much. Thanks you guys,
